أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الأَزْدِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِِبْرَاهِيمَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِكَثْرَةِ سُؤَالِهِمْ ، وَاخْتِلافِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ ، لا تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِِلا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِهِ " ، فَقَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حُذَافَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ السَّهْمِيُّ ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ أَبِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " أَبُوكَ حُذَافَةُ " ، فَرَجَعَ إِِلَى أُمِّهِ ، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ : مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى الَّذِي صَنَعْتَ ؟ إِِنَّا كُنَّا أَهْلَ جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَأَعْمَالٍ قَبِيحَةٍ ، فَقَالَ : مَا كُنْتُ لأَدَعَ حَتَّى أَعْرِفَ مَنْ كَانَ أَبِي مِنَ النَّاسِ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ فِيهِ دُعَابَةٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The people before you were destroyed because of their excessive (unnecessary) questioning of their prophets and their disagreements. So whatever you ask me about, I will tell you about it." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hudhafah stood up and asked: "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Who is my father?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: "Your father is Hudhafah." He went back to his mother. His mother said to him: "Why did you do that? We belonged to the time of ignorance and used to do bad deeds (but that does not mean you should ask such questions)." He said: "I had to find out about this so that I would know who my father is." The narrator says: There was an element of humor in his temperament.
